A bifunctional Fe3O4–Pt/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite, i.e. Fe3O4 nanoparticles ([similar]4.8 nm in size) and Pt nanoparticles ([similar]5 nm in size) loaded on a rGO surface, has been synthesized. It shows great catalytic performance for the reduction of methylene blue. Recycling of the co...
